A. No nonconformity shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, substituted, or altered to increase its nonconformity beyond an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the GFA of the building or twenty percent (20%) of the property. Should a property be modified beyond 20%, the building may retain a legal, non-conforming status but the entire property must then meet current standards. Should a building be modified beyond twenty percent (20%) of the GFA, the property can retain legal, non-conforming status.
B. A nonconforming use may be extended throughout any part of a building which was manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the time of adoption or amendment of this Ordinance, but no such use shall be extended to occupy any area outside of such building.
C. No nonconforming use shall be moved in whole or in part to any portion of the lot other than that occupied by such use as of the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Ordinance.
D. No additional structure not conforming to the requirements of this Division shall be erected in connection with any nonconforming uses of property.
E. A nonconforming use can only be substituted with a permitted use or an approved use by special exception.
